Renter's guide to Lithonia, GA

Welcome to Lithonia, GA, a city with a rich history and thriving community.

Not only is the city shaped by its granite and stone quarries, these same natural features help bring in over 10,000 visitors every year.

At just 1 square-mile, it's an extremely small city. In fact, Atlanta – which is 19 miles to the west – is 134 times larger! Lithonia is about 43 miles from Marietta and 42 miles from Alpharetta.

Tips for renting in Lithonia, GA

Are you ready to embrace the Southern charm of Lithonia? Before renting, here a few things to be aware of.

For starters, your landlord is legally able to increase rent at their discretion at the end of the lease period – Georgia doesn't have rent control laws.

On the plus side, if your landlord doesn't make needed repairs, you’re able to hire someone to fix it and have the landlord reimburse you. Save all receipts and present them to the landlord for reimbursement – or simply deduct the amount from your rent.

Always remember that rental agreements can vary depending on the apartment complex or landlord. Make sure to read the lease carefully prior to signing so you know what’s expected of you and your landlord.
